Yes, they must cover Gore..(gack!)

Well, at least we could feel a little part of the funeral mass by watching. And we are together here.

I just still cannot believe he is really gone ...........

Tony Snow embodied the saying “character is what we do when nobody’s watching.” Of the many stories of Tony that have been told by his friends and colleagues since his death, my favorites are the ones that speak to who Tony Snow was when nobody was watching. There’s the one Bob Beckel told about Tony and Bob traveling to Hawaii together on a speaking engagement during their early days with Fox. The event sponsor wanted them both to wear Hawaiian shirts to the engagement, but, when Tony and Bob went shopping together, they couldn’t find a Hawaiian shirt in Beckel’s size. When Beckel was ready to give up, Tony bought him a well-fitting white shirt, took the shirt to a local island artist and asked him to paint a Hawaiian print on it. The other story I’ll always remember Tony by was one told by a Fox colleague during Greta’s tribute show. She said that for Jill’s 50th birthday, Tony got her 50 presents. Of course, she said, not all of them were large gifts, but they were all well thought out and Tony worked for a long time on that project. These stories help me smile through the tears. Rest in peace, Tony Snow. May angels comfort your beautiful wife and children in the days to come.

followed that feed up with gore on energy :shudders:

I’m sitting here alone at work, hoping no one comes in, crying.

I am a cancer survivor (stage 3) and was still going thru chemo when Tony was first diagnosed. He encouraged thru his wit and positive outlook that cancer doesn’t have to be scary.

He showed us all what it is like to live with cancer, but that it doesn’t define us, it is just a part of what some of us have to experience. He was right to say that it can be a blessing in so many more ways than I could voice.

I didn’t post on his threads, but I did read and so I consider myself a snowflake and hope that one day I will shake his hand in Heaven.
